Arcade Machine Placement Service UK

Looking for an arcade machine placement service in the UK?

Boutique Party Hire supplies, installs and manages commercial arcade machines in suitable high-footfall venues across the UK.

Rather than purchasing and operating an entire arcade machine fleet yourself, qualifying venues can discuss long-term commercial machine placements, including potential revenue-share arrangements.

We can install arcade machines into:

  • Hotels
  • Pubs
  • Bars
  • Bowling Alleys
  • Holiday Parks
  • Leisure Centres
  • Ice Rinks
  • Family Entertainment Centres
  • Soft Play Centres
  • Trampoline Parks
  • Shopping Centres
  • Cinemas
  • Restaurants
  • Tourist Attractions
  • Student Venues
  • Other High-Footfall Locations

Installations can range from one carefully selected machine to a complete commercial arcade area.


Commercial Arcade Machine Placement

Our commercial arcade machine placement service is designed for venues wanting permanent or long-term entertainment rather than temporary event hire.

Depending on the opportunity, we can assess:

Venue Footfall

Available Floor Space

Customer Demographics

Opening Hours

Existing Entertainment

Machine Visibility

Location

Potential Number of Machines

This allows us to determine which machines and commercial arrangement may be appropriate.


Real Commercial Arcade Machine Placements

ADD YOUR BEST REAL VENUE INSTALLATION PHOTO HERE

Use your real installations heavily on this page.

Good examples include:

Large Multi-Machine Installation

Machines Inside Bowling Venue

Ice Rink Installation

Hotel Games Area

Racing Machines

Basketball Machines

Arcade Cabinets

Wide Venue Shot Showing Multiple Machines

Avoid leading with day-hire product photos displaying event prices. The page needs to look immediately like a commercial arcade installation business.


Arcade Machine Placement for Venues

Every venue is different.

A pub may only have space for one or two machines.

A hotel might have an unused games room.

A bowling centre could potentially accommodate ten or more machines.

A large leisure destination may have enough floor space for a complete arcade.

We therefore assess each opportunity individually rather than offering exactly the same machine package to every business.


Arcade Machine Placement Without Buying Machines

Commercial arcade machines can represent a substantial investment.

Buying your own equipment also means taking responsibility for:

Machine Purchasing

Delivery

Installation

Repairs

Maintenance

Payment Systems

Machine Selection

Replacement Equipment

Technical Problems

A commercial placement arrangement can provide an alternative for qualifying venues.


Revenue Share Arcade Machine Placement

Suitable high-footfall venues may potentially qualify for a revenue-share arcade machine placement.

Under an agreed commercial arrangement, machines can be installed into the venue and income generated through gameplay shared according to the agreed terms.

This can potentially allow the venue to introduce commercial arcade entertainment without purchasing the entire machine fleet itself.

Learn more about our Arcade Machine Profit Share & Revenue Share service.


Profit Share Arcade Machine Placement

Profit-share arrangements may also be available for qualifying locations.

Commercial suitability can depend on:

Weekly Customer Numbers

Venue Type

Machine Position

Available Space

Opening Hours

Customer Demographics

Location

Existing Entertainment

Installation Size

Not every venue will qualify.


No Upfront Cost Arcade Machine Placement

Certain qualifying commercial opportunities may be suitable for an arrangement that reduces or removes the need for substantial upfront machine expenditure.

This is particularly relevant to venues that already have:

Strong Footfall

Good Customer Dwell Time

Suitable Entertainment Space

Long Opening Hours

Good Machine Visibility

An Appropriate Customer Demographic

Send us information about your venue and we can assess whether a commercial placement may be suitable.

This can make suitable bowling venues particularly interesting for larger arcade installations.


Arcade Machine Placement for Pubs

Pubs can potentially accommodate selected commercial games such as:

Suitable family-focused machines can complement the main soft-play offering.

Reaction Games

Boxing

Suitable machines can provide customers with entertainment before or after eating.


Arcade Machine Placement for Tourist Attractions

Tourist attractions can potentially accommodate machines around:

Visitor Centres

Cafés

Waiting Areas

Strong annual visitor numbers can make these locations attractive commercial opportunities.


Arcade Machine Placement for Student Venues

Student unions, campus bars and university social venues may be suitable for competitive games such as:

Boxing

Basketball

Pool

Racing

Air Hockey

Reaction Games

Arcade Cabinets

Strong evening footfall can be particularly relevant.


Which Arcade Machines Can We Place?

Depending on the venue, suitable equipment may include:

Racing Arcade Machines

Excellent for head-to-head competition.

Basketball Arcade Games

Fast competitive gameplay with broad appeal.

Boxing Machines

Particularly suitable for selected adult hospitality and student venues.

Air Hockey

Strong two-player entertainment for family and leisure environments.

Arcade Cabinets

Compact classic gaming suitable for many different venue types.

Reaction Games

Quick high-score challenges.

Skill Games

Useful for family and entertainment venues.

Interactive Games

Can provide additional variety within larger installations.

The final mix should be selected around the venue rather than simply installing whatever machines are available.


Start With One Arcade Machine

Some venues may only require a single machine.

This can be particularly relevant for:

Pubs

Bars

Smaller Hotels

Restaurants

Waiting Areas

One well-positioned machine can provide a useful starting point.


3 Machine Arcade Placement

A compact installation could potentially include:

Basketball

Reaction Game

Arcade Cabinet

or

Racing

Air Hockey

Basketball

The exact combination depends on the venue.


5 Machine Arcade Placement

Five machines can create a meaningful games area.

A possible mix could include:

Racing

Basketball

Air Hockey

Arcade Cabinet

Reaction Game

This provides customers with several different activities.


10 Machine Arcade Placement

Larger high-footfall venues may potentially accommodate ten or more machines.

At this scale, we consider:

Floor Layout

Customer Flow

Machine Visibility

Payment Systems

Power

Maintenance Access

Machine Mix

Venue Demographics

The games area can become a significant feature of the venue.


20+ Machine Arcade Placement

ADD YOUR LARGEST INSTALLATION PHOTO HERE

Substantial commercial venues may potentially support much larger installations.

These opportunities can be suitable for:

Large Bowling Centres

Holiday Parks

Family Entertainment Centres

Shopping Centre Locations

Large Leisure Destinations

Tourist Attractions

The available space and commercial opportunity need to justify the installation.


Cashless Arcade Machine Placement

Suitable commercial machines can potentially use cashless payment systems depending on the equipment and installation.

This can allow customers to pay using modern electronic payment methods rather than relying entirely on coins.

Cashless systems can be particularly useful in high-footfall commercial environments.


Contactless Arcade Machine Placement

Contactless payment can fit naturally into venues where customers already pay electronically for:

Food

Drinks

Tickets

Activities

Accommodation

Retail

Suitable machines can potentially be configured around a modern cashless environment.


Managed Arcade Machine Placement

A commercial arcade placement requires ongoing management.

Depending on the agreed arrangement, this can potentially involve:

Machine Supply

Delivery

Installation

Payment Systems

Technical Support

Maintenance

Machine Selection

Performance Review

Machine Rotation

Future Expansion

The exact responsibilities depend on the individual commercial agreement.


Arcade Machine Maintenance

Machines operating in busy commercial venues can receive heavy use.

Appropriate maintenance and technical support can therefore form part of the long-term commercial arrangement.

Keeping equipment operational is particularly important during busy periods.


Arcade Machine Performance

Different games can perform differently depending on the location.

Performance may be influenced by:

Machine Position

Customer Age

Venue Type

Opening Hours

Visibility

Seasonality

Machine Type

Customer Dwell Time

Commercial machine selection should therefore be based on the individual venue.


Arcade Machine Rotation

Where appropriate under the commercial agreement, machine performance can be reviewed.

Different machines can be better suited to different environments.

For example:

Boxing Machines — Bars & Student Venues

Racing Machines — Family Entertainment

Basketball — Leisure & Family Venues

Arcade Cabinets — Hospitality & Mixed Audiences

The aim is to create the strongest machine mix for the location.


Expand an Existing Arcade

Already have an arcade area?

We can discuss whether additional machines could complement your current setup.

Send us:

Current Machine List

Photographs

Available Floor Space

Weekly Footfall

Customer Demographics

Venue Location

We can then assess potential additions.


Multi-Site Arcade Machine Placement

Operate multiple venues?

We can discuss commercial opportunities across several locations.

This may be relevant for:

Hotel Groups

Pub Groups

Leisure Operators

Bowling Operators

Holiday Park Groups

Family Entertainment Operators

Hospitality Groups

Each location can be assessed individually.


Arcade Machine Placement vs Buying Machines

Purchasing arcade equipment outright gives you ownership but also responsibility for:

Capital Investment

Delivery

Installation

Maintenance

Repairs

Payment Systems

Machine Selection

Replacement Equipment

Ongoing Management

A commercial placement provides another route for suitable venues.


Arcade Machine Placement vs Fixed Rental

A placement arrangement can be different from simply paying a monthly rental fee.

Fixed Rental

The venue typically pays an agreed hire charge.

Commercial Placement

The arrangement can potentially be structured around the individual commercial opportunity.

Revenue Share

Revenue generated through machine gameplay can form part of the commercial agreement.

The appropriate structure depends on the venue.


Arcade Machine Placement vs Event Hire

Commercial machine placement is separate from short-term event hire.

Event hire is intended for:

Corporate Events

Christmas Parties

Exhibitions

Brand Activations

Private Parties

Temporary Functions

Arcade machine placement is designed for venues wanting equipment installed for an extended period.

Any day-hire prices displayed on standard event product images should therefore not be treated as long-term commercial placement pricing.

We used Boutique Party Hire for my daughter’s 1st Birthday Party. We hired a bouncy castle and soft play. Right from the point of inquiry to the point of delivery & collection the process was easy and professional. They are also reasonably priced. The bouncy castle and soft play looked lovely and was exactly what we wanted! The kids also loved it! We will definitely be using this company again and recommending them to friends and family.
Charlotte was very responsive and accomodative of my very late request and change that had to be made. Will recommend and use again.
